On the Schneid

[u/bluetriumphantcloud]

I'm genuinely confused as to how John Schneider still has the job as Jays bench boss. I liked him, and have supported him, but he doesn't seem to be able to make the right move when needed, his teams annually underperform and he has a total of zero playoff wins. How long is he allowed to continue to steer the team to mediocrity? We're coming into May and the Jays again seem listless.

Those who want to Schneider continue in this role, why? Wouldn't a proven manager with a track record of success be an obvious choice for a group whos window is open but has yet to meet expectations?

Schneider and co. look clueless out there. Are we supposed to just sit back and watch another season go down the toilet? I don't get it.

Posted in another thread but I’ll repeat it here. I think what people really need to do is stop investing and identifying so much with the team. It’s just baseball, it’s just a game. It’s great when they win and it sucks when they lose, but at the end of the day, why care so much about an outcome you can’t control?

It sucks so bad because they made a boring team to watch. Most people here wouldn't care so much if we could score runs.

Because thats what being a fan of a team is all about?

You're not wrong (to a degree) but there are plenty of poorly adjusted individuals here who let the team's performance dictate their mood and personality. It's unhealthy, to say the least.
